Sita Ramam Movie Review: The much-anticipated film starring Dulquer Salmaan, Sita Ramam, has arrived in theatres. The movie’s trailer and the team’s clever advertising campaigns have generated considerable anticipation for the film’s premiere. The music, teaser, and trailer all sounded great, and the cast and staff seemed intriguing. Director Hanu Raghavapudi, a master of romantic comedies, oversaw this production. Let’s see if this film is really worth our time by giving it a thorough evaluation.
Story
Lieutenant Ram’s love letter to Sita, was delivered to Afreen by one of Ram’s men. When Afreen, who knows nothing about Ram and Sita, and his friend Balaji set out to find them, they ended up meeting Brigadier Vishnu Sharma, for whom Ram had worked a few years prior. Vishnu Sharma was astonished to learn that Afreen was looking for Ram and immediately gave instructions for Afreen to be brought to him by his crew. This discloses not just the truth about Ram and Sita’s current circumstances, but also their love story from a few years ago.

Movie Verdict
Andhala Raksashi, Hanu Raghavapudi’s debut, was a smashing success. I always find it enjoyable to watch how he handles the romantic plots. The director is a major fan of the cinematic giant Maniratnam, and it shows in Sita Ramam, which features some wonderful love scenes and brilliant imagery. The film’s first half gets off to a strong start, engrossing the viewer with gorgeous musical interludes and emotional situations. Unfortunately, the film seems to drag in the second half, and there are a number of distracting elements that will undermine the mood established in the first.
The enthusiasm generated by the intermission block about the second half of the film is not sustainable, however, because the scenes in the second half look a touch over the top, with some dull and unneeded elements that destroy the essence of the film. This picture appears to be a marked improvement over the director’s past efforts, particularly in the areas of storytelling and production value, however, he still struggles in the second half of his films.
In order for this romantic drama to resonate with its viewers, it must first develop the correct kind of emotional climate.
Dulquer Salmaan is fantastic in the role of Ram. He’s so good at acting that his characters often forget he’s in the part. Mrunal Thakur is gorgeous, and he did a terrific job in a couple of the situations in which he appeared. Although she has a little role, Rashmika Mandanna’s performance falls flat. Even though he has talent, it’s great to see Sumanth, who’s often underutilized in films, doing roles like this. Each of the actors, including Bhumika Chawla, Tharun Bhascker, Vennala Kishore, and the rest, did a fine job with their assigned tasks.
In terms of production value, Vyjayanthi Movies is well-known, and Sita Ramam certainly lives up to that reputation. Evidently, the producers invested a significant amount of money in order to get a high level of production value and a successful result from the director. The cinematography by PS Vinod and Shreyas Krishna is superb, and the art department deserves praise for successfully re-creating the feel of the 1960s. Vishal Chandrasekhar has written some deeply felt music. This time around, director Hanu Raghavapudi generally succeeds in giving us a wonderful love story with minimal hiccups in the telling.
Ultimately, Sita Ramam is a visually stunning picture of a love story that will stick with viewers long after they’ve seen it.
